Welcoming Leo (topaz), Newest member of our household Options

[alleria31]

I recently had been posing in the Lost or Missing pet support forum when my precious 2 year old baby boy, Bubba went missing going on 3 weeks now. I am heartbroken over it and I still miss Bubba terribly, and will welcome him home with open arms no matter when he might show up.

But anyway, my husband talked me into going to look at a beautiful orange baby boy over the past weekend, and I ended up falling in love with his brother. Topaz came to live with us last night, and he is a cuddler baby! He loves to give kisses, and just purrs and purrs when being held. He has the biggest feet I've ever seen on a kitty so the rescue thinks he is going to grow up to be a BIG boy.
His new sisters Abby (Lab Retriever) and Bella (2 year old kitty) are curious about him. Abby, who I thought was going to be the problem, sniffed him and licked him yesterday then went about her business. Bella however is not being so nice. I thought that since she had always been around Bubba there wouldn't be any of this, but I guess it's to be expected. She has been hissing at him, but she also got spayed a few days ago so she might be uncomfortable from that ordeal.
I have them separated right now, Bella is enjoying laying on the cool bathroom flood so I have her setup in there and I gave Leo his own litter box, food, and water in my office where he has been hanging out. I think things will go well, I am excited to be home the next couple days so that perhaps the kitties can be left out of confinement.
I will post a pic of Topaz, who I named Leo, later on. I named him Leo after Leo Wyatt on Charmed, Leo was a whitelighter (angel) and this boy is def my little angel who picked my heart back up after the devastating loss of Bubba.
